Chemistry Applicants 2015

No worries, it's ABB. And yes, no interviews for chemistry!

I see, you going to accept warwick's offer?

I think it depends a lot on your interviewer. Some people were given a really tough time and others were pretty relaxed and easy going. When is yours?

Erm, I don't think so Warwick is a wonderful uni, but my sister is currently studying there, and I want to go to a completely different place to her, to make sure I'm not reliant on her!

I'd probably accept their offer if my sister wasn't there!

Next Wednesday? If so I'll see you there

Ah you have plenty of time. Just continue going over AS/A2 and your personal statement and you should be fine

Putting it shortly, first it's a small talk in the cafe, followed by a tour, lunch and then finally a 2 hour time interval for interviews. It was the most awkward of all my interviews but you'll have a good day, especially if you're outgoing and easily make new friends!

I'll be there too.

Is Imperial your top choice?

Nah but looks like a good insurance if I can get them to give me an AAA offer. My firm will probably be Oxford. Am I right in thinking that that is the case with you too? If it is then are you going to say that you need an AAA offer?

My firm will be Oxford, yes.

And I can't exactly tell them I need an AAA offer, that's a bit rude

I'm not going to put it quite like that but in all honesty since Bristol decided to change their standard offer I might be looking at 4 A*AA offers which leaves me no choice with respect to my insurance.

Likewise. Bristol at AAA would have been my insurance.

How are you going to put it? I may need some tips...

I think it's a mistake on Bristol's part to up their offer. They are going to lose all the quality students who would have insured them. Very few people will pick Bristol over Imperial/Durham/Oxford/Cambridge on the same grades.

I absolutely and completely agree on all points. I was so annoyed!! My mother suggests in the any questions part of the interview saying "far be it for me to dictate terms but...."

Hmm...

I may have to ask them what the likely offer would be, and state my case. Can't see it working though.

They may give an AAA offer even if you don't say anything.

I sodding hope I get one though!

Very true. I think it's probably worth the risk though seeing as A*AA is as good as no offer at all.

How many people are there on here with AAA offers for Imperial?

I'm really annoyed as well haha, as I would have insured Bristol too. I have an AAA offer from Imperial, but I preferred Bristol!
